Thoughts from ME

So I guess Charlotte Gilman was pretty mucha freak. She killed herself and they tried to justify it by claiming her cancer was just awful...She abandoned her husband, her children, her life to write freakish depressing stories full of mad women with problems with society suppressing and depressing them.

From Omaha, NE

She calls these posts "Taking Stock": Seeing: all the dogs sleeping, a nephew playing, ceiling fans turning, grey clouds. Making: an effort to not disappear into the bedroom I'm staying at while in Nebraska with family (kids'll do that to me) Cooking: nothing.

Looking: forward to visiting the zoo to...
